Finally blew up all together a few days ago, so it got thrown out in disgrace. Question: Should I buy another foreign make kettle or stick with a traditional British brand ? BMW, MERCEDES, AUDI, BANG & OULFSEN ARMANI........ to answer your question, i always find if you buy imported goods as long as its a premium brand and you pay what you are required to you reap the rewards. If you cheap out it costs you in the long run. Are you listening dave????????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gascoigne8 3,378 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 P.s i hope its one of the kettles when you push the handle down to start it theres a blue light. Staunch Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 In my house if you couldn't get it to boil 3 cups of tea in a row any time then it wouldve been binned long before now and never again would I purchase some unknown foreign muck for my morning cuppa. I would of course realise said manufacturer did their best but just wasn't up to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh i see why we have been hiring duds in the manager role now. Dave king must have the same mindset as you comparing kettles to managers.

LochendBilly 8,410 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I would stick to an older trusty teapot, not a worn out one but one that has a history of the perfect cup, time after time. Also, you need to use decent teabags for quality instead of "Smart Price" ones. Tea from the American continent is utter pish as is Portuguese.
